History of Agave

Human remain dating back at least 10,000 years show early uses of agave for food and fiber. The agave part has long been part of human culture and was already ancient when the Spaniard Conquistadors arrived in 1452. By 1520, it was exported into the Old World. Agave is mentioned as a food of Aztecs and natives in the Florentine Codex of 1580.
